[Chapter 277 Comments.]

[Keltic_Spirit: Counting tally:5 I bet the mysterious guy is... Bob!!! You may wonder who he is, he's a mid-level swordsman that has been acting as background character A during the whole story. We finally get to see him in action!!!]

…

"What?"

"There are more people coming into the forest?"

"What is happening?"

The soldiers were confused by the intruders. They hadn't been notified about them, wondering if this would cause a problem for Theo and his students.

The soldier couldn't help but go toward the camp where the witch who led the troops was located.

"Ma'am! We've spotted a total of six suspicious people going into the forest. Will this cause…" The soldier stopped, seeing the witch had nonchalant expression.

"Is it 5 men and 1 woman?" The witch asked.

"Eh?" The soldier looked shocked at first. He soon nodded. "Yeah. One of the men entered first as if he were scouting ahead. Then, the rest of the people had just entered a moment ago."

"We have expected them. The queen has notified us that Teacher Theo is expecting a total of six people—5 men and 1 woman—to come into the forest. According to him, they're going to help him in this mission, so inform the rest of the soldiers not to take any action and continue observing the situation."

"Y-yes." The soldier didn't expect that they were already aware of the intruders. "Please excuse me."

The soldier came out of the tent, thinking about what the witch had just said. "Helping, huh? It turned out they were allies. Considering those men are extremely fast, it means that they're not from this world."

The soldier thought that Theo and his students wouldn't be enough against all those blood servants and the Crimson Witch.

After learning about these helpers, he felt assured a bit. Theo indeed didn't go recklessly. He had calculated everything and waited until the reinforcement arrived.

Little did he know, he actually misunderstood what Theo meant by helpers.

…

Inside the forest, Theo looked toward the northwest of the forest.

"Since they're going to take action, I have to handle them personally. So I might not be able to reply to the comments. I hope Mia will take over. Then again, the limit is 5 chapters before Mia's essence is completely drained. I have to speed up…

"First of all, it's not Bob. As for their identities… I guess I can give you a bit of a hint. Remember the plot armor that Agata gave me?"

Theo stopped and immediately jumped toward the intruders. He said, "Luca, Lucas, Aurora. You guys handle them; I'll have to take care of something."@@novelbin@@

"!!!" The students were quite surprised, never expecting their teacher to take action so soon. They thought they had failed or disappointed him, but that wasn't the case.

This was also a way for Theo to let them wonder if they had done everything correctly. If they managed to accomplish the objectives perfectly, they shouldn't really feel bothered by his words.

This was especially true for Aurora, who had been on edge ever since she learned about the Crimson Witch's condition.

On the other hand, Theo simply left them to figure it out themselves as he made his way northwest.

Obviously, the blood servants noticed him. Some of them started chasing after him, while there were some blood servants from other parts of the forest who were currently rushing to his spot.

The six people had gathered in the same place.

The first guy that entered the forest had been maintaining a small barrier. "The intel about this forest is correct. There are those controlled people ready to come toward us the moment I recall my barrier. What should we do next?"

"How is our target?" A middle-aged man asked.

"He is in that direction." The guy pointed in Theo's direction.

"In that case, we'll wait for the students to get exhausted. No matter what, he is a teacher. There's no way he will abandon his students. If we target his students, he will protect them."

"Are you sure about this? If we target those students, we will be in trouble. That elf is an Elven Princess and the twins are the children of a Great Spirit. If we face their rage, we might not be able to escape unscathed."

"There's no way we'll harm them. We just want to let him think that they're being targeted and use that opportunity to attack him. After he is weakened enough, we will separate him from his students, letting those controlled humans stop the students while we kill him."

They were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't realize that Theo had actually landed twenty meters from them. He had pulled his sword back as if he had just sheathed it.

Theo looked in the direction of those people, like he was about to draw a sword. At the same time, this was a sword that could slash everything as long as he could see the targets.

In that case, he planned to increase that 'vision' by clearing up the area.

Theo poured some essence into his sword before he swung it.

"!!!" The fluctuation of essence from his sword actually caused the people to notice his presence.

"Captain!"

"Everyone, jump!"

Five of them jumped two meters off the ground, while the last one actually stood still with both arms in front of him.

All of a sudden, there was a blue flash that stretched from Theo's position to fifty meters in front of him.

The blue flash seemed to bend slightly when it met the sixth guy, as if he managed to block it.

The others couldn't help but gasp, understanding what had just happened.

When the bluish light was gone, the trees suddenly snapped and fell to the ground.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

All of them widened their eyes in shock, looking around. Other than the tree behind the sixth guy, all the trees within fifty meters had actually been slashed.

They all turned to the attacker and found Theo standing calmly with the sword resting on his shoulder.

"Oh, you guys managed to survive that attack? I thought I could take at least one of you down."
